About ¡¥Of Ghosts¡¦

¡¥Of Ghosts¡¦ is the second album from The Agency¡K, following their highly applauded 2012 debut, ¡¥For the Brave and Troubled¡¦. The opening track, ¡¥She¡¦, was single of the month in Crack Magazine and the recently released ¡¥Child So Careless¡¦ also helped win the band a wider audience. Tracks such as ¡¥For the Daughter¡¦ and ¡¥Border Song¡¦ show the gentler side of The Agency¡K, with heartfelt tales of political imprisonment and criminal fraternity; both great examples of how the collective have carved out their own unique way of marrying cinematic storytelling with striking musical soundscapes. There are some surprises too, most notably the stripped back ¡¥Jack and Spade¡¦. A hidden bonus track celebrates the gothic theme running throughout ¡¥Of Ghosts¡¦ in all its magical glory. A further track, ¡¥Fast¡¦, about the corruption of good politicians is now also available as a pre-release.

¡¥Of Ghosts¡¦ is due for release on 28 July 2014. It is currently available to pre-order through Bandcamp and all good online retailers.

Stream & Share

https://soundcloud.com/ariddledsoul/exploding-soul-slowmotion-final-clip

Released via Exploding Audio Records

Every so often a new EP arises that gets people talking, and so enter Exploding Soul. With his dark and heavy Slowmotion EP, the young Swede takes Dubstep sounds into a new-found territory.

Exploding Soul is Jack Lund from Sweden, a one-man music-making maniac, who loves making noise!

Having let go of previews of the records from the EP via his Soundcloud page recently, Exploding has been working hard to ensure he delivers something totally fresh and exciting for listeners. The 4-track EP Slowmotion is exactly this, packed full of cloudy Dubstep sounds of a distinctive slow tempo nature.

With 'Slowmotion' Exploding Soul has obtained a somewhat new found identity and gears up perfectly for the shimmering summer ahead, which will no doubt see more exciting releases to come from him.

New Release From Blujon

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174644

Following the success of the band’s first release in many years “Good Man Feeling Bad”, which topped the Spanish Indie Chart (Reverbnation), much has happened.

The band’s European success triggered the foundation of a supporters club called the Rockers. The name comes form the Blackpool Rock sound, which the band was a part of in the early 1980s. Within twenty four hours the band had attracted over 177,000 plays and signed up over 9000 supporters.

The follow up track Destiny Is A Hard Road is the title track of the band’s new album is to be release this week. Destiny Is A Hard Road is a gentle song with a more personal message. The song is a real departure form the solid Good Man Feeling Bad sound.

Blujon was born in Blackpool, Lancashire in the early 80s. Since then the band has grown to become a truly European band with international support. The current line up is Krasi Zorbov (the Voice and Guitar of Blujon) is from Bulgaria, Will Fletcher (Keyboards) and Tommy Duffy (Bass), are both from the UK and Grazy Carol (Drums and Percussion) is from Venice Italy.

Blujon is currently recording in the UK and Bulgaria and plan to return to their Spanish Base in August.

Teen Rock Band Bulletproof Snow To Launch Sophomore CD “Here We Come”

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174500

Trey McLaughlin Music (TMM) announced today that Bulletproof Snow’s (BPS) Sophomore CD release will be launched by an event taking place at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 28th at 59 West in Highland, MI.

Bulletproof Snow, one of Metro Detroit’s fastest rising rock artists will headline the event and be joined by other local artists to be announced in the coming weeks. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with music beginning around 8:00 for an evening of rock/alternative/modern rock. This is an ALL AGES event with tickets available at the door for just $5. The show is presented by Trey McLaughlin Music and The Inner Light Agency (iLA).

A (4) piece teen rock band that began in 2012 in Hartland, MI BPS is quickly gaining visibility both locally and nationally. Winning a performance spot in the Rockstar UPROAR festival at DTE Energy Music Theatre in August 2013, the band was also nominated and was among the top 5 artists in two categories at the 2014 Detroit Music Awards. Most recently playing showcases in March 2014 in Austin TX during the SXSW music festival, BPS also performed at Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in May 2014 during the Driven Florida Music Conference.

This event will deliver the same high energy Modern Rock that BPS is known for while showcasing the songwriting diversity that is characteristic of Trey McLaughlin. Similar to the band’s debut EP release in 2013, this new music is an interestingly diverse range of memorable melodic rock songs with a track or two bordering on rock/pop that will likely appeal to a whole new audience. Fans attending the June 28th show will be among the first to hear the new music and will receive a copy of the (6) song CD “Here We Come” (recorded at Metro 37 Studios).

The Inner Light Agency is a longstanding band management & artist development firm ran by Damon Moreno and Bruce Swink (Former Roadrunner Records) and based in Los Angeles, CA.

Metro 37 Studios is Detroit’s premier recording studio in Rochester Hills, MI offering full-service recording, mixing and mastering.

59West is an entertainment complex located at 786 Highland Road, Highland, MI featuring a health and fitness facility, sports bar and billiards, and a full service banquet facility.

Rave On! Teen Rocker Takes The (Buddy) Holly Prize

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174502

Jack Skuller is the 2014 recipient of the Holly Prize, an award made possible by the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songmasters as a tribute to the legacy of Buddy Holly, a Hall of Fame inductee. Skuller says, "Buddy Holly left such a huge mark on everything I know about music and I am beyond honored and thrilled to receive such a prestigious award."

In recognition of receiving this distinguished award, indie label Mint 400 Records will reissue Skuller's EP "Tell Me Your Heart" on June 24, 2014. American Songwriter Magazine called the title track "analog, vintage, and cool, but with a sincerity missing from a lot of the ironic throwback recordings of the hipster sphere."

Skuller's 2010 debut single "Love Is A Drum" on Bar/None garnered rave reviews in the press and brought him to the attention of Radio Disney executives who gave him the opportunity to tour the U.S. and meet new fans around the country. Now 18, Skuller is preparing to release a new single later this year on Mint 400 Records produced by GRAMMY nominated Joel Hamilton who has worked with Pretty Lights, the Black Keys and Tom Waits.
